Automating Block Modelling with AI

Block modelling is a popular way to analyse the numeric data that is collected during drilling programs. In DRIVER we create and use block models to view the estimated concentrations (or grade) obtained using kriging or inverse distance interpolation methods. But creating accurate block models (i.e....
